I remember being annoyed over that, I always liked how the first boss of that dungeon sounded, then the rest are just all mutes
Making them generic titan voice was such a mistake

I found it!
Part of me thinks the voices were deemed ātoo racistā and thus removed, lol.
Alāakir himself, was mute as well.
But the Council of Wind dudes beneath him? They all spoke.
A lot of the things in WoW even rooted in religion, a lot has become cultural celebration. For example, we can agree that christmass is not just celebrated by Christians but people who have close cultural ties to it.
And I donāt trust Wow Dev to be clever or have the finesse to do it tastefully IMHO; having said that, I donāt mind the inclusion of non-religious holidays such as national days, days certain cultures celebrate, etc. but thatās just me.
im just gonna chill here with my food and watch this:

it can be both things. The bird people architecture resembles cholaās and other indian kingdom architecture and design and also the name of the bosses mimics south asian names.
Alāakir not getting a voice was also stupid cuz like every other elemental lord spoke
It dumb

Muslims cannot have facial hair above the lips for any reason, ever. And also do not wear turbans. And the rest of his garb along with his kirpan. That is what a Sikh looks like and not a Muslim.
Christmas was created as a means of trying to get folk that celebrated Yule and other holidays around that time to convert so to speak.
Now itās mainly for shopping and blowing money. Jesus was born I believe sometime in March I think?
Easter also has ties to different religions for similar reasons.

Are you basing this off of the name or npc background? I would say Ahn 'Qiraj had better themed and named bosses. But that is just my opinion.
Itās hilarious how often Alāakir is thrown to the curb.
Like, in Cata heās killed off, and in Legion we meet Prince Thunderaan, again, so he can be made the new leader.
Heās the most short-lived elemental lord, ever.
Iām not even sure he did anything of note, either.
Dude was just in his house and we come in and kill him lol.
You know im not gonna take the bait for the ban
You mean the Arakkoa that have been in game since The Burning Crusade aka Skeksis from The Dark Crystal.

no, i specifically referring to the WoD version oneās.
And Skettis is named after Skeksis, kind of a no-brainer lol.

Like his whole thing was he was supposed to be smarter than the other lords, use his advantage of wind to make quick strike attacks on the enemies and be gone before they could even fight back
But nah he teams up with Ragnaros, the guy who tried to eat his son, and then died off in a single raid without actually even doing much

Those seem more Egyptian to me with all the scarabs and what not.
The Uldum wind lords actually seem more āArabicā than most thingsā¦that and the zone the Vulpeera are from.
There certainly seems to be quite a lot of Arabic looking things in the game if you take a step back and take a look at it as a whole.
Iād almost argue the vulpera were ment to be the āArab cultureā race like the trolls were the āRastafarian voodoo raceā
Adding more real world holidays, like Ramadan, even if, like, thinly veiled would be cool, but Iām not gonna hold my breath. At the moment, Iām just hoping Blizz doesnāt cave to that whites-only biz coming out of D.C.
